November 9: Pakistan vs Sri Lanka, first Test

Pakistan and Sri Lanka begin a two-match men's Test series in Rawalpindi. The ICC match page lists the opening Test on November 9 at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. Test matches can last up to five days, making this fixture a story to follow throughout much of the week rather than on its opening morning alone.

The ICC's series report also confirms Rawalpindi as the venue for the first Test. Check the match page for the toss, confirmed playing XIs, any changes to the scheduled start and live score updates.

November 12: Women's Emerging Nations Trophy begins

The ICC Women's Emerging Nations Trophy starts in Ajman, United Arab Emirates, with ten teams divided into two groups. On November 12, Sri Lanka play Ireland at Karwan Sports Club Cricket Ground and Papua New Guinea face Scotland at Seven Districts Sports Club. Both are scheduled for 9 a.m. local UAE time.

The afternoon matches begin at 1:15 p.m. local time: Pakistan face Bangladesh at Karwan, while Netherlands play Thailand at Seven Districts. The ICC's official fixture announcement lists the venues and start times.

The group stage continues through November 18, beyond the end of this weekly guide. The top three teams in each group advance to the Super Six. Thailand enter as the defending champions after winning the inaugural edition in 2025.

November 13 and 15: Australia vs England men's ODIs

Australia and England open their men's ODI series at Perth Stadium on Friday, November 13. The second match follows at Adelaide Oval on Sunday, November 15. Both dates and venues appear in Cricket Australia's 2026-27 schedule.

The two games offer an early look at the series before the teams continue their tour. The schedule establishes the fixture and venue; final squads, starting teams and local broadcast options should be checked with the organizers and broadcasters closer to each match.

How to use this week's schedule

This guide highlights selected international fixtures instead of every match worldwide. Calendar dates refer to the local venue unless a time zone is stated. Test cricket may run over several days, while ODIs and tournament group matches have individual scheduled dates. Consult official match centres for current scores and any weather or scheduling changes.

No IPL fixture for this week has been independently verified in an official schedule for this guide, so none is listed here. The absence of a listed fixture should not be treated as a claim about every domestic competition.
